When the red lights went off, PS Racing’s Leopold Ringbom got off to a quick start and managed to pass Champ Motorsport’s Alexey Karachev in turn one to immediately move up from P3 to P2. With Champ’s Yuki Shiraishi leading from pole position, the pack of three cars fought non-stop for the remainder of the race, far ahead of the pack. The race was full of exciting position changes almost every lap: an exciting battle for P5 developed between FRD’s Diana Rosario and PS Racing’s Alexandra Asmasoebrata, with Diana passing Alexandra for 5th with just two laps to go.: e8 V4 Q5 ]4 Z9 N

During laps 1-5, it was these three drivers dazzling fans with a close battle every lap as they extended their lead in front of the rest of the field, with each driver re-setting the fastest race lap in the process. On lap 3, Ringbom managed to pass Yuki in Turn 9, only to slide wide onto the grass on the exit of Turn 10, with Yuki taking advantage of the slight mistake to repass Ringbom for the lead. On lap 6, Alexey passed Ringbom to move into P2, but only briefly as Ringbom retook P2 just a few corners later. With Yuki, Ringbom, and Alexey back in their 1,2,3 order for the last four laps, on the final race lap, with just a few turns to go, Ringbom again passed Yuki in Turn 9- and this time made it stick. A victorious Ringbom crossed the finish line 1.2 seconds ahead of Yuki, with Alexey in 3rd, after the incredible race-long battle for the International Category podium. In the Asian Category, it was Yuki with the victory, Tsutomu Achiha in 2nd, and Diana in 3rd after her exciting battle with Alexandra.

After the race, Ringbom can’t help himself to express how excited he is: “At first several laps, I was fighting against Yuki and Alexey, never stop to find a chance. In the last 4 laps, due to Yuki making some small mistakes in turn 7 and I finally overtook him. ” On the other hand, about the unpredictable weather of these few days, he said that he was driving in the rainy days many times before in Finland. Moreover, he said he loved the rain and thought that it could be one of the reasons for him to grab the winner trophy.
